Summary

At a Wisconsin rally, Elon Musk complained about personal attacks and financial losses tied to his role as head of the DOGE.

He insisted he’s not stealing from Social Security, saying it’s actually costing him money—citing Tesla stock’s sharp drop.

Musk whined about Governor Tim Walz mocking the stock’s decline, calling him “a big jerk.”

Despite the criticism, Musk is pouring millions into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, while lamenting the pressure he faces for pushing controversial reforms.

    Poor Elon. Rich people really do not understand. Even if they came from poverty backgrounds, they lose perspective. They think they did it all by themselves to get where they are and do not understand that chance and luck play a big part in determining which ‘hard workers with an idea’ get ahead. The working world is littered with smarter people who just didn’t get the breaks to become super rich. Once they are rich enough to waste $25M on a judge’s election they really do not understand that for the majority of Americans losing their job can mean a quick succession to homelessness from which they may never recover.

      What made them rich is not paying attention to social clues. They were unable to read the room. But they were allowed to decimate it and alienate anyone with valuable feedback. They isolated themselves and never thought “maybe I drove them away”.
